RE+tAIRE,

The Glass City has during the past year
made greater progress in the way Of i'm
provements than ever before. The princi-
pal streets a few months since were filled
with mud and travel in wet weather was
very difficult. Since the introduction Of
the paved streets th,ngS Lave changed
materially ard it Is now a pleasure to Jog
along Union and Belmont streets in a
buggy. The contract for improving South
Belmont street was given to Mr.. Boran on
Tuesday night at 3 cents a square yard
less than the previous contracts. When
this last improvement is completed the
city will have nineteen squares of paved
streets and will have invested in the work
something like 81 $1,000, but it is money
well spent, and to top the whole thing off
and give all the country people for miles
around a change to see what the city has
become, our merchants will hold q street
fair on October 9th. and every inducement
will be thrown out to get q great big
crowd here on that occasion. There will
be attractions Of all kinds and every per.
son is asked TO turn in and boom the
event. Liverpool and steubenville con-
sumed a whole summer getting up a like
affair, but Bellaire will have one on short
notice that will be a credit, and will put
people in the notion of having a larger
fair next year.
A drunken blind man was one of the

WHAT THEE SAy.
Tho Opinion of Prominent Citizens on the
Bridge Question.

The Opinion of Prominent Citizens on the
Bridge Question.
Major AloDzD LnriDg-It would be I'm
dpubtedly the greatest thing for the ben.
eGt and prosperity Of Wheeling ever pro-
jeCted, and there is ne ressOl a. al Why
the bridge should not be built and that in
the not distant future. l think the coun-
ty Sn1 city should take hold of the matter
and push 1t Though with as little delay
IS possible. 1t is my opinion TIE plan is
eatirelY feasible and that Wheeling must
have the bridge by oil means. Besides
being q directly paying Investment, the
bridge and Union depot would be of in,
calculable benefit to the city of Wheeling
and county in general.
Col. William Exley-I think the bridge
is q great thing and should be built. We
cannot get too many railroads into the
city, and the belt line in connection with
the Union depot would be ofuntold benefit
to the city. The city and county ought
W GAC hOlu anu push IL luEOuku'
J. H. Hobbs think aud have thought
for years that the bridge should be built.
1t is very necessary, in my opinion, to
the future welfare and prosperity OF the
city, muGh msre than a park. The bridge
should be built by all means as it will
bring in competing lines of railroad and
that is what we want. We cannot get
too many of them.
II. W. McLure-I would like to see it
60 through. / am confident that it would
be a big paying investment.
NJ. Gutmsn & Co.-There is no doubt
but that the bridge should be built. 1t
would benefit Wheeling to an extent that
cannot be imagined at the present time.
We certainly would like to see it pushed
through.
F. Reister-It would be the greatest
thing that Wheeling could do. We are
bounS C have the bridge, and now is the
time to push 1t through. 1t can be done
without doubt 1t Is our last chance, for
if we sit around and wait for o trunk line
70 come through the city, we will all be
gray, and if one were to contemplate com.
ing through, it would want some induce
ment to do 80. The bridge should be
pushed through.
Edward Larkin-Wheeling should have
that bridge by all means. 1t can easily
be built if the people will awaken and
show that they have some enterprise. II
has always been the trouble with Wheeling
people that they lacked enterprise and
wouldn't push their claims as q manufac-
turing city and an important point for

Electrical Railroad Matters

George B. Caldwell. Esq, left last even
ing for Mansfield, Ohio, for the purpose Of
investigating into the merits of the Daft
system Of electrical railway, which has
been in operation there for three or four
weeks. 1t is said to be working nicely,
and Mr.. Caldwell stated that is probable
that the Citizens company will adopt
either the Sprague Or Daft system on
its line. When the Wharton system
of storage battery motors was
suggested Mr.. Caldwell said that it had
not been Completed and probably would
not be for some time. this Is a system
that is being tested in Philadelphia, but
has not been perfected. Each motor is in
dependent and carries a storage battery,
which is ~replenished at each end of the
line, and the drawback to its success is said
to be the length Of time consumed in that
operation. When Mr.. Caldwell returns
from Mansfield it is probable the Citizens
Company will decide which system they
will a~dopt-the Sprague or the Daft.
